Have you heard of Fulke Greville? 🤔

He was a poet and politician in late 16th- and early 17th-century Warwickshire.

But his main passion seems to have been his relationship with the poet Phillip Sidney. When Sidney died in 1586, Greville planned a double tomb for the two men, but it was never built.

Greville’s own tomb in the Church of St Mary, Warwick bears the epitaph that includes a memorial to Sidney:

Servant to Queene Elizebeth
Conceller to King James
And Friend to Sir Philip Sidney
